Hi Raymh; This weight loss programme sounds like it's just what you need! I hope everything goes well and you will lose even more weight than they guarantee.
So you have one month until your brother's engagement.... you have to stay focused and NOT cheat. I'll bet that you lose tons of weight!

When did you start the programme? How much weight have you lost with the programme so far?
Keep us informed... daily, if you can!

I had such a wonderful time at my Mom's. The company was fabulous and the food was even more fabulous! I ate to my heart's content....

I was pleasantly surprised to see the scales showing 144.0 lbs this morning. That means I only gained 0.5lbs since the last two days.

I will try to lose as much weight as i can today... I have to go to a huge family gathering tomorrow and I know the weight will come back on.

@shy-- thank u very much for your wishes and i hope that u will lose this extra 4 lbs very soon

i have started this programme since yesterday, currently i am in detoxification phase

Thanks Raymh... I hope I lose the 4lbs soon. I'm not really trying though. There has been too much family coming through my doors and I've also been away!
There are two more huge gatherings... one today and one on Wednesday... If I decide to do one, then there will be three. But my party will be after school starts up again. Perhaps the weekend afterwards..... there aren't many weekends left for summer, and none where I can have my inlaws and my family available at the same time. Everyone is busy.

144.0 lbs today.

@shy-- just eat lots of salad before having main course in all the parties

First day of TOM :(
I also have a sore throat and am coughing.... it's a dry cough.

I've been away... again. It was not intended. I was supposed to come back after my dinner out of town with some relatives. We ended up staying overnight. I wish I hadn't. I have nothing at home.. No groceries and none of the essentials.
I have to go out shopping. I have relatives here...two different families. If I have to go shopping WHO's going to do the cooking? Who's going to have breakfast ready? Who will start preparing lunch???

I told DH I didn't want to stay but he has selective hearing when it comes to his family and when it comes to sleeping over at his parents house. Nothing I said would make a difference... he knew I had shopping to do but at that moment he didn't care!!!!! Now he casually says just get dressed and go!!!!!!!
Really??????

Oh people are starting to get up now. I have to go. Chat with you all later.

@shy-- take care dear

I didn't weigh myself this morning but I know I gained weight. My guests have left... we all went to Niagara Falls for the day yesterday and, from there, we parted our ways. I didn't get home until 1:30 am! I was so tired this morning.
I'm still sick. My throat is sore and my voice cracks when I speak. It's been like this for one week. Then I got a really bad head cold while i had two different families over. I don't know how I managed. I felt like I was walking in a daze all the time. But i had to do what I had to do.

Now I'm about to head out to my Mom's for the day. No sleeping over.. I have to come back to pick up DD2 from a weekend trip.
Thankfully the kids all have activities happening all next week and we'll be home bound. No relatives I know of are still around the area... all have gone home to their respective homes by now. The summer is starting to wind down and people are gearing up for back to school. Of course, there is still two weeks to go so who knows what's going to happen!
lol!!! But its' been fun and crazy!

DH wants to go for a week vacation with his cousins... it's a 14hr drive! No way! I'm tired and exhausted... I've been telling him this all along. The timing is not right. We will be back just a school is going to start and my kids don't want to do that. DD1 starts high school and is feeling quite nervous and just wants to be here getting her stuff together and relaxing! I don't blame her.
I think DH finally realized that we don't want to go... it would be fun but....
I don't think he wants to go either now. Too far. Wrong timing. He asked me to tell his cousins that we are not going. Nope. HE can tell them. I've said no all along.
Let's see. There's still one week left before they leave.

Wow. My summer has been like this from the moment school let out. I have not been able to control my eating... in what I eat and how much i eat. I know I've gained weight. I'll let things settle down for a few days and get over this cold. By then TOM will be over and I can reassess where I'm at and then make a positive plan of action. I need to get back in control of things.

Just a quick note to say 'hi'.
Tom will be over tomorrow for sure.... actually today...
This morning i weighed myself and was pleasantly surprised to see 144.5 lbs. That's 4.5 lbs over my goal weight. It was more. Trust me. I saw the scale tip at 149.0 lbs one day and almost screamed but stopped myself because I had visitors! I was also on TOM and that didn't help the matter!

I'm conscientiously trying to lose the excess weight. I'm conscience of it but I'm not weighing and measuring.
lol
But if I am aware of it... I'll stop myself from reaching for that bag of chips etc.

BTW, I'm still sick and I need rest. However, my lawn has been neglected and it's long again and I'm about to go out and cut it with DH's help.
Hopefully this exercise will help me to lose some weight.

HMM...... WHAT?????
I'm at 146.5 lbs today!!!
How did I gain 2.0 lbs overnight????

...okay... reality check in place....time to do something about all this.

Okay... so I was very cognizant of what I was eating yesterday. I even drank 4 glasses of water and I don't tend to drink water that much!
I ended up gaining... again.... what????? I was at 147.0 this morning!!! Ouch.
TOM is over, so I can't blame that.
I really did try to eat everything in moderation yesterday and got in all my food groups. However, I didn't get in all of my dairy. With the plan i follow, I have to eat everything to lose weight. IF I skip on something, I won't lose. I think it must be the dairy.
Sometimes I feel like it is so much food to eat. Some nights I'm gobbling up food just to get it all in! Crazy.

Well.... here's to another day. Hopefully I'll get in all my food and water.
Let's see what the scale says tomorrow.

147.0 lbs..... still
It's good considering that I ate an entire bag of chips (the large, huge size) last night while watching television. Yikes.
But I was craving it and I just couldn't stop at a few. I figured that there is a reason that I'm craving it and so I just ate it. Today is another day and I'll just have to do my best.

@Simba: What's up? YOu haven't posted in a while.
@Raymh: Where are you? You were being regular and I was away and, now that I'm back, you're not regular anymore! lol

I am not following that homeopathic programme, there was a long list of foods which i couldn't eat in that programme and i was always hungry because i didn't get satiety,
Now i am just following my fitness pal and fill journal everyday, eat everything and try to keep calories low, i check my journal 3-4 times, i think it is similar to weight watchers where NO FOOD IS SIN
